Bengaluru, Oct 21: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government’s initiative in giving training to about five lakh unemployed youth aged between 18 and 35 in 39 different subjects has impressed BJP and other parties too.

BJP-ruled states of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, TMC-ruled West Bengal and TDP-ruled Andhra Pradesh governments are keen on replicating the Karnataka model of skill development training for youth.

Each of these states has sought specific information on curating courses specific to their region. In Karnataka, there has been an overwhelming response to the “Kaushalya” the skill development project with 6.94 lakh youth registering themselves online ever since the project was launched this year.

The Rajasthan government has evinced interest in starting skill development programmes for youth in renewable energy such as solar power and wind energy, Muralidhar Halappa, chairman, Skill Development Corporation said.

Andhra Pradesh has sought information in personality development, while West Bengal is keen on industrial training. Uttar Pradesh is interested in giving thrust to home appliances and automobiles and wants its youth back home to be trained in these sectors, Halappa said.

The Karnataka model basically works like this: Those interested (age 18 to 35 years) in getting skill training can register on the department’s website Kaushalkar.com. These candidates are called for a counselling to ascertain whether their aspiration for a particular course matches his or her aptitude, before actually starting the training programme.

The department will soon be launching two new programmes in skill development. As many as 22 Government Tool Room and Training Centres (GTTC) across the state will be imparting skill training in CNC programme and operation etc.

Bengaluru, Jun 8: Normal life is slowly returning to normal across Karnataka with the state government further easing the restrictions by throwing open places of worship, hotels, malls for the public.

Despite these places being opened after a gap of more than two months, the places wore a deserted look as the people are and cautious and not ready to take of risk of venturing out amid the ongoing Corona threat.

"Business is not as heavy as expected though it was allowed after a gap of almost three months. You can see for yourself the crowd, it is not what it should have been in a commercial area like this prior to the imposition of lockdown. However, hope it will improve", a Cloth merchant B Ramesh told UNI when asked for his reaction.
